Chapter 30 Sleepyhead Breeding and Eugenics Program

Night fell, and the moon and stars were few.

After the heavy rain a few days ago, the black fog near Black Cloud Marsh seems to have dissipated considerably.

At the edge of those clouds and mist, a red raccoon dog was skillfully traversing the mountains and forests, carrying a golden flying sword.

The spirits and wild beasts in the mountains were already used to this scene.

Not to mention they're currently busy with migration matters.

Even if nothing happens, they would never provoke those two guys.

The killings that have been occurring frequently near the black fog lately.

That was enough to make the spirits and beasts of this mountain forest realize the danger posed by these two.

Even those corrupt beasts that fear no death are no match for them, let alone their own little arms and legs.

However, most of the spirits and beasts did not notice.

Today, besides the crimson raccoon and the golden flying sword, there were also some blood-red insects lingering around the two of them.

"It's amazing how quickly you've learned to control your drowsiness?"

Unlike the sleepy bug driven by Xi Luo.

Those sleepy bugs that flew alongside the golden flying sword were entirely blood-red.

Although they have to stop on their flying swords to rest from time to time, it is clear that they are distinct from ordinary sleepy bugs.

At the very least, these blood-red sleep bugs possess an aggressiveness that ordinary sleep bugs do not have.

I never imagined that these sleepyheads would be the perfect carriers of malevolent energy.

After focusing most of his attention on the sword pellet, Li Boyang's voice became calm and still once again.

However, having learned from his previous experiences, Li Boyang retained a human touch this time and did not act as ruthlessly or coldly.

You previously mentioned that these sleepyheads prefer places full of energy...

And every time you use the drowsy bugs, you swallow them beforehand.

[Furthermore, since these sleepyheads like to crawl into the seven orifices of animals, I thought that vital energy should also be considered a kind of vital energy, right?]

[Would life force mixed with malevolent energy also be welcomed by drowsy people?]

Looking back at the golden flying sword in astonishment, Xi Luo could roughly imagine what the other party had done.

"So, you let these sleepy bugs devour your vital energy?"

Looking across the entire Hundred Mountains, only Li Boyang's life force contained a hint of malevolent energy.

Most importantly, due to the curse of the gnats, Li Boyang's body is constantly being eroded by the evil energy.

The drowsiness that consumed his energy would not have any negative impact on him; on the contrary, it would lighten Li Boyang's burden.

"You're really brave!"

"In all my years, I have never seen anyone dare to use their own life force to feed a sleepy bug."

Vital energy is the foundation of life.

The rise and fall of vital energy directly affects the health of living organisms; this is a very simple common sense.

Ordinary people barely have enough vital energy to nurture their own life force, so who would be generous enough to use their vital energy to feed a sleepy bug?
As it turns out, fortune favors the bold.

[After absorbing the malevolent energy mixed with my life force, these sleepy creatures were also affected by it.]

[The specific manifestation is the same as my original form: my skin turns bright red, and I become more aggressive.]

Unfortunately, these sleepyheads are far too fragile...

I have no way of knowing whether their bodies have been enhanced in the same way as my own.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo blinked again and said.

"The enhancements have likely been made, but their lifespans have probably also been affected." "Your malevolent aura is ultimately a curse, not a blessing or a favor."

"I think these sleepy bugs only have about a week left to live, which is far from what a normal sleepy bug would have."

Xi Luo is, after all, a mountain spirit, a mountain god with her own clay statue.

Although she couldn't see the flow of life energy directly like Li Boyang, she could still roughly sense the vitality of these sleepy bugs.

This isn't a big problem; these sleepy bugs only live for about three months anyway.

From development to maturity, it takes about a week, enough time for these sleepyheads to leave their offspring.

Upon hearing the melody, Xi Luo immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

"What are you planning to do!?"

The sword swayed slightly, and the few sleepy creatures around it immediately flew into the nearby forest.

Life is never static; it actively adapts to its environment and continuously evolves.

[I simply intend to accelerate this process, to cultivate a variant of the Sleepy Bug that can fully adapt to the malevolent energy.]

[Perhaps the lifespan of the first few generations of the Sleepybug variant will be very short...]

But after several generations of selection and breeding, they will certainly have the lifespan of a normal sleepy bug, or even longer?

Li Boyang's voice revealed a strong interest.

He didn't expect these sleepyheads to have much fighting power.

However, after discovering the potential of these sleepyheads, Li Boyang's "farming gene" deep within his soul was awakened.

Just like animal breeding and insect domestication in my previous life.

Li Boyang also wanted to try to artificially select and cultivate a variant of the sleep bug through a similar method.

Since he had nothing better to do than lie in his basket all day, Li Boyang had to find something to keep himself occupied.

"Did you learn this from the 'Nine Chapters of Divination'?"

Not believing that this was Li Boyang's own idea, Xi Luo quickly found a suitable reason for him.

Because that's how the original sleepiness was cultivated by the Huaijiang witch.

She strongly suspects that similar methods may have been recorded in the "Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets".

At the very least, a similar concept must have been mentioned in the "Nine Chapters on Divination".

I'm planning to call this project the 'Sleepyhead Breeding Eugenics Project'...

[Or how about calling it 'Crustacean Eugenics and Breeding Program'? What do you think of that name?]

Instead of refuting Xi Luo's guess, Li Boyang simply introduced his own thoughts with great interest.

"It sounds awful and the meaning is unclear."

Rolling her eyes speechlessly, Xi Luo's attention was easily diverted by Li Boyang.

"Your ability to come up with names... is almost on par with your sculpting skills."

Xi Luo couldn't understand what "breeding and eugenics" meant, let alone what "crustaceans" meant.

Fortunately, the two are now communicating via a rhinoceros horn.

Otherwise, Xi Luo wouldn't even be able to understand what Li Boyang was saying.

"We have more serious things to do right now than to ponder your wild ideas."

As she spoke, Xi Luo suddenly stopped in her tracks, then raised her head and pointed to the valley not far ahead, asking a question.

"We've arrived at the place you specified. What's next?"
